For over 20 years, Max Pollak has been the leading innovator establishing the body as a legitimate musical instrument, also in contemporary classical, symphonic, and chamber music. He even performs regularly at the world's leading opera houses in classics like "Die Fledermaus" by Johann Strauss. His performances in these settings draw crowds from all sides of the artistic spectrum. He has amassed a staggering amount of written repertoire composed specifically for his instrument and approach, in combination with various musical configurations. From full symphony orchestra, to countless chamber music ensembles of contrasting size and instrumentation, to duos with cello, trumpet, bass-clarinet, guitar or flute, and of course experimental electronics.
